I will also endorse "Bag Balm"; it was deveolped for (you guessed it!) cow's udders, which can get very painfully cracked and sore, and make milking a real ordeal. As unappealing as this may sound, the stuff smells good, and works like no hand or body lotion I've ever tried! We live in Canada, so I can relate to the havock that cold, dry weather plays on your skin. Good luck!
